Tru Triple Buffet Server, 2-1/2-Quart Inserts

I was a little leery of getting this product at first because of the lack of Amazon reviews and one of them not being very good. That being said I am very happy I took a risk and bought this product after reading almost 70 positive reviews for the same product on the Khol’s website. This buffet server arrived with my amazon prime in two day’s time with absolutely no imperfections. The ceramic containers hold a LOT of food; I have used the item twice for parties of 40 plus people (with food left over). I used it to keep chicken and beef warm (each container holds about 4 pounds of fajitas) and the third container held a lot of rice and beans. The individual knobs to keep food warm are wonderful, they have three levels of heat. The food is warmed quickly on the hottest level and food keeps warm without a problem; I have not had any food burn and the food was kept warm for about four hours. People commented on the functionality and attractiveness of the product and I cannot help but gush about what a great bargain this item is; the cost is minimal really if you consider how much time and effort it saves you when entertaining; just put the food in it and walk away. There are no worries about serving your guests cold food anymore. Love the glass lids, no, they do not seal tightly but when people are serving themselves the lids are pretty much off anyway. Love that you can just store the food in the ceramic lidded containers in the fridge after the party. They wash very, very easily and food comes right off. The electrical cord is on the shorter end definitely but if you place it by a plug it is not an issue. All in all I am extremely happy with the product and really glad I bought it. This would be a great gift for anyone who does any sort of entertaining. The box is indeed a bit big and on the heavier side, it is about three feet long and I am guessing in the twenty something pound range.

I absolutely love this slow-cooker/warmer. I use it two or three times a week to feed my family of five or larger groups of company up to 30+ folks. It’s an ideal way to serve meals to a crowd. Here are some of the meals I’ve used it for:

– Baked potato bar: Cook the potatoes in the oven and serve the toppings (Broccoli, grilled chicken, white cheddar sauce, etc.) from this server.
– Pasta bar: Boil penne pasta in a large stock pot on the stove, and let your guests choose their sauce from the server: Meat marinara, Garlic alfredo with chicken and aspargus, or Vegan vodka arrabiata
– BBQ pulled pork: Toast some buns on the side and fill them pulled pork from the slow cooker. I cook a butt or shoulder cut in root beer all day in slow cooker on low, then shred it and hour before my guests arrive, dump the juices and return it to the warmer, cover it with BBQ sauce, and mix well. Put some green beans and mashed potatoes in the other two warmers and you have yourself the perfect summer meal for a crowd.
– Fajitas: Saute the steak, onions and peppers ahead of time, and transfer to a slow cooker. Put beans in another one and spanish rice in the third. warm you tortillas as guests arrive and let them help themselves.
– Nachos: Chili in one, ground beef with jalapenos in the next, nacho cheese sauce in the third. A giant bowl of tortilla chips on the side. Everyone’s favorite Game Day fare.
– Breakfast: Thanks to this warmer, I’m now able to scramble eggs, fry my sausage and broil my potatoes before I start on the pancakes/waffles/french toast/whatever, and I no longer have to risk burning the bread because I’m a terrible multi-tasker. I just transfer the side dishes to the warmer while I focus on the main dish.

One highlight I especially appreciate is the ideal size of the pots. They fit in the dishwasher and they also look lovely as regular serving dishes when I transfer them out of the warmer onto the dining room table. Of course the unit itself is ideal for a buffet meal, but I don’t always want to serve my food buffet style, so I like the flexibility of placing them on the table (on a trivet) and having them look right at home.

I recommend this warmer for anyone who loves hosting a crowd.

The triple buffet server turned out to be very easy to use, easy to clean, and kept foods warm.
I am so glad I purchased this appliance. For my brunch I cooked the food then placed it in the server to stay warm. French toast, sausage and morning potatoes. it worked great. Breakfast foods are difficult to keep warm but this worked!

It did use my cousins’ for another brand which she got for $300. This is exact same purpose for far less price! Highly recommended. Keeps the food warm and can set separate temps for all 3 pots.

Poor craftsmanship, one pot is so deformed that the lid does not even fit. Makes it kinda hard to keep things warm. Tried all the kids and the pot is the issue. Needed this for Christmas but I wish I would have opened it sooner so I could return it. Very disappointed.
